Ronaldo wins legal dispute against Juventus, club ordered to pay €19.5m

Cristiano Ronaldo has won a legal dispute against Juventus, with the club now owing the Al Nassr super star €19.5m.

The Portugal international took the Serie A side to court last year over wages that were unpaid during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Juventus players agreed to defer four months’ worth of their salaries in March 2020 and April 2021 as the club struggled financially during that period, but agreements were struck with individual squad members, too.

Ronaldo wanted to be paid €19.5m in deferred wages – known as ‘salary manoeuvres’ – and now La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the 39-year-old has won that battle with the Italian outfit.
